PREFACE 


wf 
yf/3 


This  work  is  an  enlarged  and  Corrected  edition  of  a  list  orig- 
inally issued  in  1902.  The  compiler  has  since  that  date  collected 
all  additional  titles  which  he  has  been  enabled  to  discover  as  well 
as  to  correct  many  errors  printed  in  the  earlier  edition. 

In  my  collations  I  have  used  a  method  not  in  general  use,  but 
which  I  believe  when  better  understood  will  be  followed  by  other 
workers  in  the  bibliographical  field.  In  all  cases  where  I  am 
enabled  to  give  full  collations  I  include  in  each  instance  the  title 
leaf  as  the  first  two  pages  which  are  included  in  those  unnumbered 
and  which  are  bracketted.  All  paginations  given  in  brackets 
denote  the  fact  that  such  pages  are  unnumbered.  For  Example, 
a  work  whose  pagination  is  given  as  pp.  [3], -4-197,- [3]  would 
have  the  first  three  pages  (including  title  leaf)  unnumbered,  these 
unnumbered  pp.  being  followed  by  pp.  4  to  197,  these  numbered 
pages  in  turn  being  followed  by  3  unnumbered  pages.  I  have 
followed  this  rule  in  all  but  a  few  cases.  When  the  Author's 
name  is  printed  in  brackets,  it  denotes  that  the  book  in  question 
was  issued  anonymously.  In  all  but  a  few  instances  I  have  noted 
only  the  first  edition  of  each  publication. 

In  the  compilation  of  this  list  I  have  omitted  all  works  which 
are  of  a  purely  Juvenile  Character,  as  well  as  a  number  of  titles 
which  are  only  partly  fiction,  such  as  the  numerous  Narratives 
which  made  their  appearance  immediately  following  the  War  with 
Tripoli.  Oscar  Wegelin.

*  The  "Floure  of  Souvenance"  is  another  name  for  the  Foreget-me- 
not.  If  the  author  hoped  that  his  work  would  not  be  forgotten  he 
was  very  much  mistaken.  The  work  hardly  deserves  to  be  classed  as 
a  work  of  fiction,  yet  I  can  think  of  no  other  heading  under  which  it 
might  be  catalogued.

*Coll: —  Half-title  "Modern  Chivalry."  |  the  lettering  between  dia- 
mond shaped  border-[-title  as  above,  one  leaf,  verso  blank-j-the  text 
pp.  [5]  to  156.  On  pp.  98,  and  123  the  word  Chivalry  in  the  head- 
line is  spelt  "Chivarly." 

Vol.  II.  The  title  reads  precisely  the  same  as  in  Vol.  I,  with  the 
same  arrangement  except  for  the  following,  Volume  II,  instead  of 
Volume  I:  an  apostrophe  is  inserted  between  the  "O"  and  the  "R" 
in  O'Regan;  and  the  date  is  printed  "M.DCC.XII." 

Coll: —  Title  one  leaf,  verso  blank+text,  pp.  [5]  to  156.  Pages  155- 
156  is  a  Postscript.  It  is  probable  that  there  should  be  a  half-title, 
though  in  the  copy  here  described  there  was  only  a  half-title  in  the 
first  volume.

[rulel  [^Entered  according  to  Act  of  Congress.'] 

Coll: — Title,  one  leaf,  verso  blank — "Introduction,"  pp.  [v]  to  Ixvii, 
the  novel  commences  on  the  verso  of  page  Ixvii,  with  a  new  numera- 
tion though  the  first  page  is  not  numbered — the  novel,  pp.  [i]  to  99 — 
"Conclusion  |  of  the  third  volume."  |  one  page,  the  verso  blank. 
Pages  95  to  99  is  "Appendix,"  the  first  page  being  unnumbered.  The 
pagination  is  peculiar  throughout,  the  "Introduction"  is  paged  on  the 
right-hand  corner  of  each  page,  so  that  one  page  is  numbered  on  the 
front  edge,  the  next  on  the  edge  at  the  back  of  the  volume,  the  "Appen- 
dix" is  paged  the  same  way,  while  the  text  of  the  novel  is  paged  in  the 
ordinary  manner  on  the  front  edge  of  each  leaf.  Page  xvi  in  the 
"Introduction"  is  numbered  "x".  It  is  difficult  to  say  whether  there 
should  be  a  half-title,  as  there  are  no  sheet  signatures.  The  peculiarity 
of  the  date  should  be  noticed.  Evidently  the  Pittsburgh  printer 
had  the  second  vol.  of  the  Philadelphia  edition  before  him  with  the 
printer's  error  of  date,  and  slavishly  followed  the  error,  only  making 
it  1813  instead  of  1812.  Brackenridge  about  this  time  removed  to 
Pittsburgh,  and  no  doubt  wrote  the  third  volume  there.  In  the  intro- 
duction is  a  long  satirical  poem  on  the  Order  of  the  Cincinnati. 

Vol.  IV.  Title  reads  the  same  as  in  Vol.  II,  except  for  Volume  IV 
and  the  date,  which  is  "M,DCC,XCVII."  Apparently  set  with  the 
same  type.  Title,  verso  blank,  &  pp.  [5]  to  160.  Possibly  should  have 
half-title.  Chivalry  in  the  head-line  is  spelt  "Chvalry"  on  p.  61  and 
"Chilvary"  on  p.  68.  Since  the  above  was  set  up  I  have  examined  the 
copy  in  the  N.  Y.  Public  Library  and  find  that  the  copy  there  has  a 
half  title  to  each  of  the  four  parts. 

[Brackenridge.]  IVIodern  Chivalry,  |  Containing  |  the  |  Adven- 
tures I  of  a  I  Captain,  &c.  |  Part  II.  |  Quid  Vetat  Ridentem

Printed  by  Archibald  Loudon.  |  1804.  |  i2mo.  pp.  [3], -4-216. 

♦This  is  the  first  edition  of  this  part,  which  is  really  Vol.  3  Part  i. 
In  the  Conclusion  to  this  part  the  author  writes  as  follows.  "These 
concluding  pages  I  had  written,  and  had  printed  off,  to  this  point  of 
the  game,  if  I  may  so  express  myself,  this  19th  of  Nov.  1804;  and  had 
intended  to  publish."  Part  II.  of  this  volume  was  issued  with  the 
following  title.  Modern  Chivalry,  |  Containing  |  the  |  Adventures  | 
of  a  I  Captain  |  &c.  |  Part  II. — Vol.  II.  [Line  in  latin  as  in  Part  II. 
Vol.  i]  Published  for  the  Author.  |  Carlisle:  |  Printed  by  Archibald 
Loudon.  I  1805.  I  i2mo.  pp.  [3],-4-2i4-[i],-2i6-225,-[i]. 

The  type  in  this  part  is  slightly  different  from  the  above.  In  many 
respects  this  last  part  is  the  most  important  of  the  entire  work,  as  it 
contains  much  regarding  the  author's  connection  with  the  impeached, 
Penna.  Judges,  Shippen,  Yeates  and  Smith,  as  also  the  address  to 
Gov.  M'Kean  asking  for  Brackenridge's  removal.  This  part  was 
probably  issued  in  February  or  March,  1805.  The  two  parts  comprise 
the  first  issues  of  this  volume  and  all  earlier  editions  were  issued 
without  them. 

The  above  titles  are  without  doubt  the  first  issues  of  all  of  the  parts 
of  this  first  work  of  fiction  partly  written  and  printed  west  of  the 
Alleghenies.  A  number  of  editions  were  printed  prior  to  1830,  but 
I  give  only  the  above  as  I  understand  that  a  bibliography  of  this 
inaportant  book  is  now  in  preparation.
